Amazing hotel and staff and food.
This is the best hotel, amazing staff, fantastic food, nothing too much trouble, if you didnt fancy what was on the menu the fab chef would make you something else. We were upgraded on arrival to the suite room by the pool. Each room is a little "bungalow" small friendly hotel (24) rooms, nice pool. Room had a massive shower, comfy bed, house keeper cleaned every day. Cannot fault at all, literally 1 minute walk to the beach, watching the horses having there swim. The staff at the hotel are lovely, the manager is always around making sure everything ok.From the gardeners to the chefs, housekeepers, bar tenders (Tre and Terry) and quiet Viktor. To the fantastic waitresses big shout out to Elsie, Mary and Sharon. So much fun. Could not fault this hotel at all, And this is our 8th visit to Barbados, but not our last to Island Inn x
So relaxing
We had such a relaxing holiday at Island Inn. The staff were so attentive and friendly especially Sharon, Tre, Mary and Elsie. The food was exceptional and was so nice to not have buffet style every night. Rum tasting is a must, entertainment was great and the cleanliness was 100%. We have just booked to come back next year and can't wait
Wedding Anniversary Bliss!
Fantastic holiday. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and had the best time ever. Tre works behind the bar and makes the most amazing cocktails. He is such a nice guy who made our stay that extra bit special. All the hotel staff and management were warm and welcoming and made our stay so memorable. We will see you again and Tre we can’t wait to sample your daiquiri again! See you all soon xxx

We will be back
Fantastic little hotel. Staff are wonderful. Food great and we found the location perfect.
This is my 13th visit to the island but 1st time at Island Inn, it will not be our last.
My partner celebrated his 50th birthday and the hotel had a happy birthday table laid out at breakfast and decorated the bed and left a card. Lovely touch.
Thank you for a brilliant holiday

Some positives and badly let down by some staff attitudes
We stayed for two weeks. We liked our room, big room with a large bathroom. The combination of the air conditioning and a fan kept it cool. The cleaning was OK, but constantly chasing coffee, shower gel etc.
The pool was small and usually there were enough sunbeds, but very little shade. In the two weeks we were there, the pool area by our room was never swept. Was covered in fallen seeds from the trees.
The food was on the whole tasty and plentiful, with the waiting service very good. The quality of drinks at the bar was excellent, proper bar men who knew how to make cocktails.
On the whole the staff were polite and friendly. The exception being a very grumpy waitress and all the reception staff, other than Sharon and the young trainees. We felt like an inconvenience if we asked for anything. They would talk to us without any eye contact and were made to feel like we were talking to a headmistress! Not in the least bit welcoming!
We had an enjoyable time with all the other guests, as the hotel is so small you do find there is a lot of interaction. We very much liked the sister hotel Mango Bay, where you had immediate access to the beach. Otherwise you had to pay $20 per day, per person to use the sunbeds near Island inn beaches.
Sadly the hotel isn’t situated as to allow a nice stroll in the evening, but it’s great in other ways. Easily access to the Garrison area. We visited George Washington House, saw the race horses swimming in the morning. Had a fantastic afternoon at the races. The local buses were great fun, only costing $3.50 (Barbadian) a single trip. The local people were so helpful.
All in all, albeit some staff attitudes and cleanliness issues the hotel is OK. Though I can’t see why people come year after year to this hotel.
